Detailed Itinerary: 4 Days from Casablanca
Day 1: Casablanca – Rabat – Meknes – Volubilis – Fes (5.5 hours drive | 320 km)
We begin our 4-day Morocco desert tour from Casablanca at 8:00 AM when our driver picks us up from our accommodation. Our first stop is Rabat, the elegant capital of Morocco, where we explore iconic landmarks such as the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the Hassan Tower. From there, we continue to Meknes, an imperial city known for its grand Bab Mansour gate. After soaking in its historic charm, we drive to Volubilis to wander through Morocco’s best-preserved Roman ruins. A guided tour brings these ancient stones to life. By late afternoon, we reach Fes and settle into our traditional riad in the medina for the night.
Day 2: Fes – Ifrane – Middle Atlas – Merzouga Dunes (7 hours drive | 470 km)
After breakfast, we set off from Fes toward Ifrane, nicknamed the “Switzerland of Morocco” for its alpine-style architecture. We stretch our legs here before heading to the cedar forests of Azrou to meet the friendly Barbary apes. Then, we pass through the scenic Middle Atlas Mountains and stop for lunch in Midelt, known for its apple orchards. In the afternoon, we drive through the picturesque Ziz Valley before reaching the edge of the Sahara in Merzouga. As the sun begins to set, we embark on a camel trek across the dunes and arrive at our luxury desert camp. Here, we enjoy a magical evening with music, dinner, and stargazing under the clear desert sky.
Day 3: Merzouga – Erfoud – Todra Gorge – Dades Valley (5.5 hours drive | 290 km)
We wake early to watch the sunrise over the dunes before enjoying breakfast. Afterward, we ride back by camel or 4×4 to meet our driver and continue toward Erfoud, known as Morocco’s fossil capital. A quick visit to a fossil workshop reveals the area’s prehistoric treasures. Next, we journey to Todra Gorge, where we take time to walk between its towering canyon walls. Later, we head into the Dades Valley, stopping to admire the Monkey Toes rock formation. We check in at our charming hotel or guesthouse for the night and unwind with a hearty Moroccan dinner.
Day 4: Dades Valley – Rose Valley – Ait Benhaddou – Marrakech (7 hours drive | 370 km)
On our final day, we explore more of the scenic Dades Gorge before driving through the Rose Valley, stopping in Kelaat M’Gouna—famous for its fragrant rose products and annual Rose Festival. Continuing toward Ouarzazate, we visit the Kasbah of Taourirt and possibly the cinema studios that earned it the nickname “Hollywood of Africa.” Our next destination is the UNESCO-listed Ait Benhaddou, an ancient ksar featured in films like Gladiator. After lunch, we begin the scenic drive over the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,600 m), stopping for photos at stunning viewpoints. By evening, we arrive in Marrakech and conclude our unforgettable 4-day desert adventure.
